Next seasons starters?

Thanks @ichawk24 for the different look at minutes played. This revised version shows more reliance on the top players last year than this year, which is closer to my perception. I'm not going to speedsheet minutes played for Bluder's coaching career, but my feeling is that Bluder often collapsed playing time to the core 8 players by conference time unless the score got out of hand either way. With the loss of last year's three vets plus Davis, it is hard to know if Jensen is changing that pattern or i it is just a reflection of the wildly different team roster.

No doubt Lisa had last years vets to lean on while Jan has been "feeling out" different lineup combinations with all the players having new roles this year. I'm sure if you just took the last 6 or 7 games it would look alot more like last year with the starters playing major minutes, and shorter rotation..

Just use words.

Was TS TM and PT too complex for instant understanding. We were talking about Taylor Stremlow and Taylor McCabe and PT is a sort of universal acronym for playing time.

He was replying to me saying that the earlier graph showed players whose minutes played were based off of only the games in which they played. Ex: KJ shown as 3 minutes/gm, when she only played in one game for 3 minutes last season. It had Heiden at 10 min/gm, but made no allowance for her not playing at all in 4 games, so her actual minutes are more like 8 min/gm. This is in reference to the poster who was plotting next seasons minutes available, but I thought that was not a true reference to minutes played per game, because if you added the minutes up they came up to well over the 200 available minutes. Of course thats because as an ex: you be crediting KJ with 3 minutes per game when she really only played on average about 5 seconds per game if your using this to plot available minutes vs those who played. Hence the "true minutes".

Thanks for the clarification.

It's a pretty different team. Next season the sophomores will dominate total minutes played and Deal of course. Hannah and TM will play heavy minutes but after that... Heiden may even be starting (I agree with that school of thought).
